Update : Chelsea complete the signing of serie A wing back the man that will replace injured Alonso and chillwell a free transfer as he arrives London for medical and to meet new owner.
Perisic has been on Inter's books
since 2015, but his stay at the club looks
set to end in the coming weeks, with
his contract expiring next month.
The Croatian wing-back is expected
to join Chelsea, subject to a medical and
the final terms of the deal being ironed
out, as reported by Italian media outlet
Sports Mediaset via Metro.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is
currently sanctioned, but the Perisic deal
is expected to go through as long as the
takeover of the Premier League
club is completed.
Perisic has had a glittering career, winning
league titles in Germany and Italy,
while he also lifted the Champions League
trophy during a loan spell at Bayern
Munich in 2019-20.
Now, at the age of 33, he has shown
no signs of slowing down this season.
He has been a regular starter in Simone
Inzaghi's team, registering seven goals
and six assists in 33 Serie A appearances
to keep his side in title contention.
He also netted the final two goals of
the game as Inter overcame Juventus
4-2 after extra time in Wednesday's
Coppa Italia final.
Perisic's arrival could pave the way for
fellow wing-back Marcos Alonso to depart
Stamford Bridge in the next transfer window.
It is understood that the Spanish defender
wants to return to his homeland to
play for Barcelona.
This would leave Perisic in a straight
battle with Ben Chilwell for a place in
Thomas Tuchel's starting XI next term.
